In one scene in this novel, a character eats curry with chili, thinking the latter is something cool. In another scene, the "Pumpernickel mineral springs" is recommended as a slimming treatment by Lord Tapeworm. One character in this novel is appointed governor of Coventry Island by Lord Steyne, who was having an affair with that man's wife. Another character in this novel entrances the Indian "nabob" Jos and implicitly kills him for the life insurance money. The protagonists are first seen at Miss Pinkerton's Academy for Young Ladies and go on to marry characters like William Dobbin, Rawdon Crawley, and George Osborne, who dies at Waterloo. For 10 points, name this "novel without a hero," a satire by William Thackeray featuring Amelia Sedley and Becky Sharp.
